[Effect of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith and Town). Conn. on the functional properties of human blood lymphocytes]. / Vliianie Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith and Town). Comm. na funktsional'nye svoistva limfotsitov krovi cheloveka.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been shown to affect the proliferation of intact lymphocytes as well as lymphocytes stimulated by PHA action. Inoculation of bacteria into the cultures of intact lymphocytes and incubation during 72 h resulted in increased incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into the DNA of cultivated cells. The bacteria are capable of inhibition of lymphocytes proliferation stimulated by PHA.
